Nivard Ovington says he has an Ellen A YOELL aged 70 in 1881 born Portsea, living at 8 Landport Terrace, Portsea (also Isabella & Amelia) and says the family are tailors, Jewellers & Silversmiths There are some coincidences with my family. Louisa Weller YOULL was born in 1805 in Southwark, Surrey, and married Samuel HAWGOOD. Samuel was a pawnbroker in trade directories, a jeweller or silversmith on the birth certificates of his children. Samuel's brother Samuel Thomas HAWGOOD went to live in Portsea, and married Mary Anne Dabbs there in 1827. Samuel Thomas ran the Red House Tavern in Church Road, Landport, and he had two children who ended up in the pawnbroking/silversmith business in Portsea (a bit later they call themselves Investment Bankers!) Louisa Weller YOULL's father was William YOULL, a butcher of Dover Place, Old Kent Road, Southwark - he is in trade directories there from 1805-1844. His will was proved at Canterbury in August 1845 and from this and the IGI I know of wife Mary and children John Robert, Louisa Weller, Ann, Eliza, William Finnerby, Jane, Emely, Emma - surnames appear as YOUL or YOULL in different documents, they were born 1803 to 1817. I have never followed up this YOULL family, but the silversmith/Portsea connection is striking. regards, David Hawgood. email hawgood@one-name.org
